🌺 Hawaiian Vibes in Helsinki: Crispy Pork Belly and Ocean Views (Sort of) Tucked on Kamppi’s 5th floor, this Hawaiian joint serves up tropical flavors with a side of city views—if you can snag a window seat, that is. Allergic to half the menu, but the braised crispy pork belly still managed to wow (and overwhelm) my taste buds. 📍 Address：Urho Kekkosen katu 1, 00100 Helsinki (5th floor of Kamppi) 🌟 Pro Tip：Reserve a window table for sunset—trust me, the vibes are chef’s kiss. 🍖 Braised Crispy Pork Belly (€26) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️ Texture Heaven： Crackling outer layer that shatters when you bite, followed by melt-in-your-mouth tender meat. First bite: "Wow, this is the best thing ever." Third bite: "Help, I’m drowning in pork fat." Saving Grace：The side of kimchi cuts through the richness... but only so much. Bring antacids. 🌺 Friends’ Favorite Picks (My Allergies Weep) Bi Bim Bap Hawaiian twist on Korean bibimbap—crispy beef, runny egg, and seaweed in a hot stone bowl. "Crunchy goodness in every bite." Grilled Sea Bass Flaky fish with a tropical fruit glaze. Friend quote: "I wanted to lick the plate clean." Soft Shell Crab Deep-fried whole crab, shell and all, dusted with shichimi. (Me: sobs in allergy) Beef Tataki Seared beef slices with yuzu soy—light, refreshing, and perfect as a starter. 🌟 Ambiance & Service Decor：Wooden furnishings, surfboard decor, and palm prints—transports you to Waikiki (kinda). Service LOL：When asked for recommendations, the server joked: "Just order anything—we’re too popular to have bad dishes." 📝 Allergy Notes & Final Thoughts Alert: Menu heavy on seafood and nuts—notify staff if sensitive. Worth a visit for the pork belly and to live vicariously through friends eating crab. #HelsinkiHawaiian #CrispyPorkDiaries #AllergyProblems #KamppiEats
